'1 Claim.

This invention relates to bottle holders; and more particularly, a holder in which the clamps are interchangeable to fit different sized bottles.

The principal object is to provide a handle with spring clips which due to their resiliency will accommodate a varied range of bottle sizes and will accommodate still another range by substituting diiferent size clips. The prior art shows it old to use resilient clips, but these are usually made integral with the handle, and thus the utility of the device is limited. A Further, the resilient clips of the prior art differ in structural detail which will be hereinafter pointed out.

Another object is to provide means whereby handles of different styles, shape and material, may be interchangeably used with the resilient clips.

Still another object is to provide a wide base for the bottle wherein the handle forms an additional support to prevent tipping of the bottle, and at the same time, readily permits the bottle being inserted and withdrawn from the holder.

Other objects and advantages will be disclosed in the specification and drawing forming a part of this application.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective of the holder showing a bottle positioned in relation to the holder in dotted lines;

Figure 2 is a perspective of a modified form of a reversible holder, without the tabs;

Figure 3 is a. vertical section partly broken away, taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1;

Figure 4 is a bottom plan with part of the handle broken away; and

Figure 5 is a bottom plan of the modified form shown in Figure 2.

Referring to the drawing, in which similar parts are designated by like numerals:

Numeral 6 designates a holder having a handle 1, an oval outer portion 8, and a cut-away inner portion 9 adapted to fit the hand. A shoulder Ill at both top and bottom provides a reversible support for a bottle H adapted to be gripped by resilient clips l2 and tabs l3. The outer ends it of the handle 1 are squared and recessed to receive angular socket members l5. Securing means in the form of screws l6 detachably secure the handle and clips together. The ends ll of clips l2 flare outwardly to readily receive bottle H.

The modified form of the holder, shown in Figures 2 and 5, has the same resilient clips l2 without the tabs I3 and with the handle 1 formed integral with the resilient clips. has shoulders II) which extend above and below the clips l2, but in the same parallel plane. This permits the holder to be reversibly used in connection with a bottle and form a support there- 5 for.

The invention as shown in the preferred form, Figures 1, 3, and 4, permits either the use of varying sizes of clips for difierent sized bottles, or difierent types of handles The handle 1 securely supported, but the receive varying sizes of bot as a support which makes it extremely diflicult to tip the same over.

within the scope of the claim appended hereto, what I claim is:

A bottle holder shaped handle, resilient clips secured to the end
